“Had to stop by my favorite Italian grubbin in the heart of Old Town Pasadena all the way from Boise. This was my 3rd time and each time just keeps getting better; definitely the bigger the party, the better. We paid $225 for 4 pasta entrees, 3 appetizers, & 2 glasses of wine for a party of 6. I’ve learned to like my pastas al dente after having them here. The meatballs are banging, the wine-pairing was delightful. Our service was attentive and pleasant; the vibe is always vibrant and homey. Highly recommended.“

“Best Italian food I’ve ever had!“

“The food was great had the Chicken Parmesano, the chicken was tender and the sauce that was on it was delicious and light. Came with mashed potatoes, sautéed carrots, and broccoli. The vegetables were tender but needed more flavor. The mashed potatoes were done well and had a lot of flavor. Dont know if we were there too early but there was only one server, don't get me wrong he was great but he did need help. Overall I would dine here again.“

“The service has been consistent since I started coming here, over 2 months ago. From the management team to the host, and the bussers, you can tell they all love to work there. I have been here a handful of times, and I have a closer OG, but, this one just does the job right! The space was very clean, I was taken care of by my server Freddie? Freddie!?, the food came out good and ready, thank you Freddy, for being my server, you gave me a great and responsive, arguably proactive service“

“Came into this Olive Garden and was seated very quickly even though it was busy. It did take away to get our order taken, I don't think we were assigned a waiter, but then the lovely manager (I think) came and helped us. We got our food quickly and the service was amazing. I tried the new Calabrian Steak & Shrimp Bucatini and it was delicious. Would definitely order it again.“

“the food its just delicious.“

“It was my significant other's birthday. We were at the Music Center. So where else to go for dinner but Malbec in Pasadena? We had been there many times before. We always have been very happy there. We hope to be there many times in the future. Everything for the evening there was excellent. The wait staff, the food, and our table were wonderful. Go! You will be very happy that you did.“
